Hi. I'm Julie and I am in the midst of figuring out all of these social media options! It's a bit overwhelming. Over the next few months, I plan to clean things up so that all of my information on classes, workshops, private lessons, and performance events are clear and easy to navigate. In the meantime, feel free to get in touch if you'd like some more information. Here is what's going on for the next few months.
I am gradually transferring over to www.alexandertechniquboulder.com.
MAPS. I make and perform solos. Though, I do not perform every solo I make. Here is where I keep a few of my spontaneous, unstaged solos, as well as a bit of this and that. www.julierothschild.tumblr.com
Current and Upcoming Classes:
Perhaps you've heard mention of the Alexander Technique as a way to reduce tension or address pain. Yes, it's true! Alexander Technique also invites us to take notice of how we move through the world around us. This 5 week workshop is open to all, whether you are new to the work, or have been practicing for years.

just a bit about me:
I began studying Alexander Technique in 1993 in order to relearn how to move and dance after repeated injuries and surgeries. This work taught me how to take responsibility for my own healing, and how to get back to dance with a new, more balanced approach. In 2004, I began my Alexander Technique teacher training at the Chesapeake Bay Alexander Studies Course in Greensboro, NC. I completed my training in 2007. Over the years, Alexander Technique has become an essential filter through which I teach movement workshops, private lessons, and craft new works of choreography. In addition to Alexander Technique, I have offered workshops in Contemporary Dance Technique, Improvisation, Composition and Contact Improvisation throughout the US and abroad. I currently live in Boulder, CO with my husband, two sons, and our dog.
and my dance background:
I began dancing early on, as a young child. Once I could channel this energy in to athletics, I went for it: volleyball, track, basketball, swimming. In 1983, as a freshman in high school, I was introduced to Modern Dance. Here I found a place where I could link my physical and intellectual curiosities together. Since then, I have worked to make sense of things through this evolving form. I was immediately drawn to post-modern dance and I do consider my aesthetic to be in that ordinary/minimalist category. Simultaneously, I am ever engaged in discovering where I and we are as technicians. I like precision and clarity. I have been a small town artist for most of my career as I have moved with my husband from University to University since 1994: Lawrence, KS, Charlottesville, VA, Athens, GA, Silver Spring, MD, and now Boulder, CO. In these smaller dance communities, I have been so fortunate to engage with artists who are committed to curiosity, discipline, experimentation and support. I dance with Zen Monkey Project (based in Charlottesville, VA); I co-founded a studio and dance company in Athens, GA; I had an apprentiship year with Liz Lerman Dance Exchange; I grew up on a farm in Ohio; I taught at University of Georgia and Emory University; I've just begun dancing with Sweet Edge in Denver, CO; I have danced in quite a lot of places with some astounding people. I guess I just dance where I am.
